I grew up in a very strong LDS family. I have strong values and family is one of them. I love children and wonderful joy they bring to peoples lives. I also am very creative and playful I would not be the type of nanny to sit and watch the kids in the sand box I would be the one in there with them playing along side. I understand the great importance it is in a child’s life to feel loved and feel special if I could I would find a way to make every child feel like they mean something to someone. In my church we have a nursery during church hours that people volunteer to work in, I am one who quite frequently participates in nursery activities. I love to dance and sing and teach my great traits to others. I also like to read and love doing things for others. :) That’s me. I hope you can hear in my words the passion I have for this kind of opportunity; this wouldn’t be just a job to me, but more of something on a personal level, something that would grow into a great love. I would say that my childcare style would be a mix of a few things. I feel like I am authoritative. I do not feel like I am controling but I have mear suggestions to help a child along. I like things to be in order but at the same time the childs wellbeing is the most important thing to me and I just love to see a happy child. I am not a pushover but I want to make the kids as happy as I can.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: No  Can Swim Well: No  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets:   Languages spoken: English, English    My Nationality: American  Background Check:   Eligible to work in the U.S.:   Civil Status: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Latter-Day Saints        Work Experience & Education Background   4 years experience, 5 references I may be young (18) but I have basically raised my two younger sisters, I have spent two summers as a nanny for two young girls part time and loved it.
